Stereoscope Coffee

Came here last weekend for a cute date with my lady. The vibes were super chill with a nice variety of coffee options. I went with a cortado it was creamy, bold and yet smooth, just what I needed for a little pick me up. I also got to try the matcha latte, and the quality of the matcha was solid creamy with a slight bitter ton. The spot definitely is popular as it gets packed depending on when you come, it filled up not long after we sat down. I'd swing by again if I'm in the area.

Good selection of crafted espresso drinks. Ice cream available on weekends. Long line due to popularity. Many students doing homework/studying despite how crowded/noisy this place is. No place to sit to enjoy the coffee.

They broke my reusable cup! And left a metal part of it inSIDE the drink! Which, by the way, was a hot drink ...that didn't sit well with me at all, no pun intended. Upon calling and relaying this incident (purchased in late morning, called late afternoon upon finding), I thought the manager would call back immediately, or at least quickly, considering the health hazard. I am disappointed to say it has been over five hours and there has been no follow up or even hasty apology. The reusable cup was also FROM Stereoscope. Nail on the head right there, and also tells you quality of their (expensive) products. The staff who first got my call was responsive and professional. The staff in-store also had been very friendly. None of that matters in the face of serving a safety hazard. Overall, very disappointed and upset. I am upset about the cup of course, but much more about the fact that something was in my drink. I could have drank that screw. Nothing else should be in my drink other than the drink, I think that goes without saying. Again, also disappointed by lack of IMMEDIATE followup from upper management. Honestly horrendous considering the scale of error. I expect follow up, please.

Great place to get coffee! This been a source of good drinks for a few years. Both the coffee and matcha drinks are equally great. They also now sell their own matcha powders. I will definitely buy once I start running out of NY current one. Cashier was very helpful and answered all my questions. I got my drinks quick. The place is a good place to study, work, or hang out.

One of my favorite coffee places within 20 mile radius! I love the Cortado. Make sure to look at the menu with the bean varieties and information on flavor profiles and pick one that fit fits what you like.

Everyone enjoyed their drinks and we got a matcha croissant. Did not get to try the other pastries, but they had many! Spanish Latte was too much milk, but someone else in the group loved it. Different opinions, but still a good spot.

I've been to stereoscope quite a few times. I've tried a decent amount of espresso and pour overs. I even purchased beans to bring back and share with friends, but I can never get myself to truly like any of it. The beans tasted old due to the flavors being so flat, and most of the drinks I ever had weren't memorable. I will say that their strawberry matcha was good, but nothing I'd be willing to drive for. If you're in the mood for ACTUAL specialty coffee, I'd avoid this place. Otherwise, if you just want some fruity drink with an aesthetic, then this is your place!

The vibes here are chill and the drinks are as well. I got a matcha latte and it was as incredible. It wasn’t sweet (as I ordered it) and the earthy taste was present. The staff was patient and welcoming.

This is hands down the best coffee shop in Orange County--at least among the ones I've been to. I guarantee it. First, the coffee is 10/10, and the service? Easily the best in all of LA and OC. I've never seen a coffee shop with such amazing service. When I went with my friend, I ordered the Madagascar Latte. My friend, who only ever goes to Starbucks, asked if they had something like a Brown Sugar Iced Latte. I immediately told her, "Why would you even ask that here?" But before I could stop her, the barista overheard and said they could make something similar. I was honestly a little embarrassed, but super impressed. The Madagascar Latte I had was perfect for coffee lovers who enjoy a rich and nutty flavor. Also, I noticed that when you order, they bring the coffee to your table instead of making you wait at the counter. I guess that's just how they do things here. It felt almost too nice--I wasn't used to this level of service! But more than anything, what really stood out was how genuinely attentive the staff was. When taking orders, they really listened, making sure you didn't feel rushed while somehow making it seem like you weren't waiting at all. The staff here left a lasting impression on me. The second time I visited, I tried the Spanish Latte, but I have to say, the Madagascar Latte was better. Since then, I've wanted to come back every weekend, but every time I go, the line stretches all the way outside, and I just can't bring myself to wait. But if you don't mind waiting, this place is absolutely worth it.

I got the Ujigawa ceremonial matcha tea (no milk), and truthfully it is not worth spending $8+ on. I think the ceremonial matchas with milk might taste better than the ones w/o milk. My drink didn't have as strong of a matcha taste--it wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either. Overall, I think this place is a cute place to come study and hang out w friends! It is pretty packed whenever I go, I recommend going before 12 to snag a seat. I recommend their matchas w/ milk than ones w/o milk.

Coffee, tea, beans, soft serve--whatever you're craving, just come. You will not regret it! Their service is great, and the quality of their drinks is top-notch. I love getting their beans for my home espresso--yes, it's a bit pricey, but you get a free cup of coffee with any bean purchase, which is a nice perk. Whether you're here to sit, study, hang out, or even bring a date, you'll enjoy their drink menu. Just a heads-up--their pastry selection is limited, and they might be out later in the day. So come early if you're hoping to grab a treat

Stereoscope Coffee, a bustling minimalist coffee shop in Buena Park, offers a range of creative options to enjoy concentrated or sweetened matcha. Following the barista's recommendation, I opted for their Ceremonial Matcha with an extra vanilla sweetener. The total was about $15.00 for two drinks ($7.50 each). The customer service was exceptional--friendly and attentive! I liked the recommendation of matcha the barista provided, basic and simplistic, yet intricate. The matcha itself had a distinct flavor profile, with the earthy richness of the matcha perfectly balanced by the subtle sweetness of the vanilla. While the texture was slightly grainy, it lent a unique consistency that rippled throughout each sip. I appreciated how the drink showcased the matcha's natural taste, complemented beautifully by the sweetness, creating a delightful and harmonious experience. I'd argue that this is undoubtedly one of the best matcha I've tasted. It is able to compete with the big matcha dogs of SGV: Stagger and Omomo. If you want different levels of matcha consistency, along with a great aesthetic spot to study or hang out, come give Stereoscope Coffee a try!

I am so incredibly grateful to the staff who worked this morning for being patient with me! I had asked how fast it would take to make and they were like oh it should not take long at all, and I remember apologizing for taking a while to think because it was so early in the morning and they completely understood how I felt. The interior is also very nice and I feel I would come here at any time of the day, whether it's 7 in the morning or at nighttime or during lunch! And the honey latte I got was very good, I tasted the coffee and the honey. It got me through my long work day and is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU STEREOSCOPE!!

I was at a Korean spa located nearby and was craving some matcha after all the soaking. I never come here, so was a little surprised by the line out of the door and crowds of young people hanging out outside. It looked like there was some sort of event, but it was just a Sunday afternoon, I guess. After about 10 minutes in line, I put my order in, but was not quite sure what I was doing. I got a little guidance at the front, but didn't feel like contributing to any hold ups for the folks behind me. Ceremonial matcha tea (the Yorokobi kind) topped off with oat milk was my choice. The taste was quite delicate, but it tasted a little watered down. They were kind enough to give me more oat milk at my request. All matcha drinks come unsweetened, and yes, it's one of those places that charges you to sweeten it. It was 0.50 cents for a splash of honey. Ok, no sweat. I still enjoyed my drink. They also have matcha soft serve, which I'll be curious to try next time.

Stereoscope oozes style as soon as you walk in, you'll greeted by the smell of roasted coffee beans and a friendly atmosphere. What you won't immediately know about this place is that they have an amazing matcha selection from Japan, which is what attracted me to come here to try. The staff was also super friendly and were knowledgable about the different types of matcha as they have so many. They were able to provide a great reccomendation of one of their most popular matcha drinks. I ordered a madagascar vanilla latte as well as a matcha latte. I'm no coffee expert but I thorougly enjoyed my latte and the flavor of the roast. The matcha was also very very good, and I highly reccomend sweetinging it with their house syrup.

I was searching for a matcha store and came across this spot. I was impressed with their wide selection of merchandise, ranging from water bottles and matcha powders to coffee strainers. I wanted to purchase one of the matcha powders, so I asked a staff member about the differences between the three options on the shelf. He was very helpful and explained the grades of each. I decided on the Nakama Matcha powder, which he recommended as their basic grade and perfect for pairing with milk. As a bonus, if you buy a matcha powder, you get a free drink. I chose the strawberry matcha, which was pre-sweetened and delicious. This store is also a great spot to study or work, as I noticed a few outlets available for charging.

A neat little coffee store in the heart of Buena Park, this location is particularly known for its friendly service, simple yet sleek aesthetics and classic coffee offerings. I was particularly impressed by the abundance of drink offerings, which ranged from a variety of expresso-based drinks and lattes to ceremonial matcha drinks. Recommend stopping by for a quick visit if you're in mood for good coffee and great vibes!

Stereoscope is my most reliable choice and recommendation for good lattes. This place is populat and the lines can get pretty long. Wouldn't say I'd wait for too long, but defs worth swinging by

Good coffee! Come early or else the line will get long! At one point the line was out the door. When they only had two staff, service was slow. It got better once there were 4 workers. Staff is extremely friendly and kind. Private giant lot.

**VERY IMPORTANT FOR FUTURE ME** Order less ice and do not let them bait you into ordering normal when they say they won't fill the drink to the brim. As much as I loved the taste of the drinks, the amount of ice they add to the drink is ridiculous. Anyways, the Madagascar Vanilla Latte is my number one. A date brought me here randomly years ago and I was very surprised at the unique but tasty and rich flavor of the latte. I came back recently and got the Sweeten Matcha Premium Non-Espresso per my friend's recommendation for a tasty/sweet drink and it did not disappoint. I would say I was more surprised from my drink the first time I came so I definitely will try the Madagascar Vanilla Latte again next time!

The matcha latte was so delicious! This place is also very cute & clean ! I came when the line was out the door but it was pretty quick. I will definitely recommend and will come back!

This place stays busy!! I feel so bad for the barista because the line doesn't end. But I've always receive great service and everyone is very kind. The place is packed!! It's kind of loud because there's a lot of people inside and outside. But good vibe! I tried the pumpkin soft serve. It's so creamy and rich! Between the 3 of us, we couldn't finished it, lol. The strawberry milk is very delicious!! We will definitely get that again. The strawberry matcha was way too sweet and not enough matcha. We didn't really like it. The Golden tea was good. We mixed the ice cream in there and it was very delicious after.

Overall Stereoscope Coffee is a great place to hang out with friends and a cup of coffee. While often quite crowded, that only adds to the atmosphere of the coffee shop. I'd already had a coffee, so I opted to get an expresso soft serve and it was so so good. Its a bit of a bummer that it's not available every day, but if you go on a weekend, it should be available. The servers brought out our orders and gave us a heads up it would take a little time before the soft serve could firm up. I really appreciated the heads up and will definitely be coming back!

Every time you want to know more about the coffee or geek out, just ask. The passion of the baristas are evident. Yes this location isn't as cool as their newer ones, but gotta respect the OG.

Amazing me and my family love this place worth every dollar spent from their ganache chocolate milk to their coffees and Matcha We came here after a bad experience at another coffee shop in artesia and we have to say that service and coffee was the best

Busyyyyyyyy coffee shop! Boy was this place crowded on a Saturday! The line was all the way out the door. We waited for a good 30 minutes in-line. And it was really hot inside the coffee shop. It felt like they didn't have air conditioning. Just a fan going. It was 102 over the weekend and way too hot to not have the air conditioning on for customers. We were sweating while standing in-line. The drinks were really good. My fiancé got the Madagascar vanilla and he enjoyed it. That one was strong lol I ordered a Medium Spanish latte with oat milk and extra sweet. It was so sweet and delicious! I loved it. The hint of cinnamon was perfect. We also purchased a bag of coffee from Uganda. You get a free medium drink with purchase of coffee bag! Score for us! Coffee is great. 10/10

First time here and heard many great things about their matcha. Tried both their nakama matcha which is the cheapest and popular and ujigawa which is the most expensive since yorokobi was sold out by the time we came. Both honestly tasted really similar to eachother not much of a difference. The matcha was okay as well.

I ordered the yorokobi matcha with milk and it was very good!! Choosing honey as the sweetener was the way to go for me. It wasn't too sweet and had a good amount of matcha to it. Also tried their strawberry milk drink which was super yummy!! The strawberry puree seemed perfect with some chunks of strawberry I would have loved to come here to work & study

Great tasting coffee & matcha! I feel like it's a bit rare to find a place that can master both, but Stereoscope does it well. Their coffee is smooth, rich, and flavorful; it was so delicious in a simple latte. I finally had the chance to try their Ujigawa ceremonial matcha the other day & I was blown away by the taste and quality. I had it with milk (no sweetener) & honestly I still think about it from time to time. They have seating both indoors & outdoors, although the patio gets pretty noisy from all the cars on beach blvd. Service is always friendly as well. Although their drinks are a little pricier than some other local options, I feel like it's worth the treat every once in a while! I definitely recommend placing an order online if you want to skip the wait since there is usually a line when I stop by in the mornings.

Pretty good matcha latte and espresso soft serve (I think this one is only available on the weekends). They have 4 different ceremonial matcha to try from: nakama, yorokobi, kuro hitsuji, and ujigawa. They recommended yorokobi as it was their most popular choice. However, I was looking for a matcha latte to try so I can buy the matcha powder after. Since they didn't have yorokobi matcha powder there so I went for the nakama. It was a little light for me so I will be back to try the stronger version. The espresso soft serve was so good and strong espresso flavor.

Food/Drinks: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Busy but busy with reason. Super cute cafe with GOOD quality americanos. You won't struggle with parking and more seating than it looks! I'm always greeted with a smile and great service. Great place to catch up with friends or get work done!

I've been wanting to try Stereoscope Coffee Company for a while, and I finally got the chance. Despite the long line when we walked in, the service was impressively quick and efficient. We ordered a Royal Milk Tea, Medium Mocha, Medium Strawberry Milk, and a Matcha Doughnut. Royal Milk Tea: It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure I can adjust it next time. Overall, it was decent. Mocha Coffee: My friend enjoyed it and was happy with the flavor. Strawberry Milk: This was the standout of our drinks. It was made with real strawberries and was incredibly refreshing, especially in the heat. It paired perfectly with the matcha donut. Matcha Doughnut: The matcha cream was amazing, though the shell was a bit stale--probably because it was one of the last few left, so it had been sitting for a bit. Overall, Stereoscope has a cool vibe, friendly staff, and efficient service. I'd definitely come back, especially to try their soft serve, which is only available on weekdays. Looking forward to my next visit!

Me and my wife finally tried the Stereoscope in Buena Park, and we love how passionate the baristas are about making the coffee! They're all super knowledgeable and you can taste it in their drinks as well! Their wide selection of pour overs makes it a great place to come back and try everything!

Stopped by Friday afternoon and there was no line. Good amount of seating inside and outdoors. Parking was also easy to find. We ordered the Yuzu and Espresso soft serves, Ganache Mocha Latte, and Sweetened Matcha Latte. The soft serves were delicious! I really liked the espresso soft serve and am already craving for another one. The ganache mocha latte wasn't what I expected so I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to; luckily one of my friends did so she finished my drink. The matcha latte reminded me of in-sit's so if you like their matcha, then you'll like stereoscope's! Overall, I'd like to come back again :)

I came at about 5 pm on a Friday and it wasn't too crowded. The barista at the front was super friendly and was good at keeping up conversation about my day while preparing a handful of drinks! My drink came out really fast, granted it was a cold brew. This is one of the better cold brews I've had recently because it's not overly acidic like most. It had some fruity notes too which I'm not able to distinguish right away with other places! Also appreciated the general atmosphere. The music wasn't too loud and the community-style long table.

I've been on a matcha kick as of lately, and stereoscope definitely cures my matcha cravings! The interior is very minimal and the staff is super friendly! They hand the drinks to you if you decide to sit outside. The cafe I would say is quite small and compact, so on busy days it's hard to find seats. My friends got the matcha milk and it was a perfect amount of sweetness, I'm not a matcha connoisseur, but I can say that I will definitely come back. I got the chai latte milk which was one of my favorites! The chai flavor was still very strong, and I drank it so fast. I will say the sizes are quite small and they do add a lot of ice, so I'd recommend if possible, to ask for less ice or else you'd end up drinking all of it in five sips :,)

Just an FYI, they discontinued their hojicha...sigh. I opted for their strawberry matcha with almond milk, less sweetened...and I can't imagine drinking this at 100% sweetened because the drink tasted like syrup. Made sense because the drink was a super light green. I am utterly confused and very disappointed. The pastries were mid as well.

Stereoscope is known for their coffees and matcha. But they also have some bites and soft serve on the weekends. Their syrups used in their lattes are all house made. I love that you have the option to add ginseng extract which other coffee houses do not offer. I stopped here for an after lunch treat with one other person. We came in on a Friday and the person I came with wanted their espresso soft serve. I tried their ganache milk drink. It was good and tasted like chocolate milk. As for the espresso soft serve they told us their machine was acting funky. Instead of refunding they gave us a card for a complementary drink for next time and asked if we wanted the matcha soft serve instead. The matcha soft serve is good. And we appreciated the free card. We still want to try their espresso soft serve though. The staff was very nice although the wait though was a little long. They were very busy that Friday and didn't take our order for awhile. The line got super long when we were leaving. We appreciated that they would walk out drinks and orders out to everyone though. The inside is cool and casual. There's lots of places to sit. I saw a lot of people working/studying inside. There is also outside siting as well.

This is a great shop to sit down and meet with a friend. The outdoor area is quiet and private. The interior is decorated nicely with a minimal aesthetic. I ordered an iced Spanish Latte which was delicious. The drinks come out fast and the workers are incredibly friendly. Line gets a little long but the workers make the line go by quickly and smoothly. Love this place!

I could always count on getting smooth and delicious drinks!! I really enjoy the espresso that stereoscope uses, and when I'm not in the mood for a latte (my go to), I enjoy their matcha, particularly the strawberry matcha (but I ask for it to be made less sweet!). The lychee peachy is a very refreshing drink if you don't want either a coffee or matcha (note it does have caffeine). The staff are quite friendly, and are willing to give recommendations if you ask. The seating is aesthetic (earthy light wood colors) and there's indoor and outdoor seating. It's located in a large shopping plaza so you always find parking!

Spanish latte: it was okay :/ I thought I would like it more but ended up not finishing it Madagascar latte: better than the Spanish latte I ordered these two because it was their most popular on Yelp but wasn't impressed. If I came back I would try something else. Plenty of seating inside and out, I would consider studying here but not sure how the wifi and outlet situation is. Parking was a breeze they have a pretty big lot. We waited close by the counter waiting for them to call our drinks but they ended up walking out from behind the register to hand them to us? A bit strange but I guess it was an unspoken concept that they bring you the drinks which is fine but we weren't aware as it was our first time. So if you come here just grab a table and wait for them to come to you.

They have great quality matcha drinks and very creamy soft serves! Plenty of seating outdoors and indoors, place can get busy during rush hour. Would highly recommend!

Nice place to hangout. Good quality coffee and matcha. We had different ceremonial matcha teas with milk, espresso soft serve, and seasonal pumpkin spice soft serve. Good ambience inside, lots of seating inside and out. Service was super helpful educating the differences in the teas and coffee, after ordering they bring the order to you if you are seated. Large parking lot, but was somewhat difficult to find a spot in the plaza.

Mocha tasted chocolatey without being too sweet and was balanced out with the coffee flavor/strength. Vanilla latte was pretty good, and I think I preferred it over the mocha. Cookie was wide and thin and gooey with all the melted chocolate (they offered to heat it up). Overall, everything was decent, and I'd try other drinks if I happen to pass by another Stereoscope Coffee. Service was great - the gentleman was friendly, answered our questions, and even brought out our orders directly to where we were waiting. Super crowded inside, with lots of people on their laptops. There were many others standing by waiting for their orders, too, so this shop was poppin'!

Amazing coffee roasted in house. Ended up here after having their coffee at another shop last weekend. So glad I stopped in to try it directly from the source. Ordered a single origin cold brew and a matcha milk for my mini. Coffee had great flavor perfectly balanced, not bitter or over roasted. Matcha milk was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. The staff was super friendly and made recommendations. Drinks came out quickly to cap off a perfect visit. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area or headed to or from Knott's Berry Farm.

If someone wants to find the best Matcha in LA - they should probably come to Steroscope. They have multiple ceremonial grade matchas professionally waiting to be made. The menu is dense because there is so many great options and information to be shared.

Such a cool place to check out! Staff there is really patient, ask all the questions and they will find your drink. Definitely recommend the iced Spanish Latte and the Madagascar Vanilla Latte! Cool place to get some work done, very spacious inside and outdoor seating as well.

Placed an online order through DoorDash for a Spanish latte and a Madagascar Vanilla latte for me and my brother. It arrived promptly. The drinks were both tasty! It helped us start our day. The design of the packaging in the cups were nice. They held up pretty well throughout transit. I think the vanilla latte had more milk than the Spanish latte. My brother was a fan. Would love to stop by in person sometime. The pictures online look like a cool place to hang out.

Stereoscope is going soo viral and expanding so fast, and I'm always super happy to associate it with OC. Their menu is just super simple but delicious and it has just a great vibe for hanging out or working. I ordered just a cortado because it was later in the day. I also wanted to try their soft serve, but I think they tend to sell out later in the day. It came out really fast, and a nice touch was the barista bringing it outside for me. Stereoscope's beans are one of the best out here, which is probably why a lot of other shops use them! It was rich, and not too acidic, like other places, so this was the perfect end to the day.

"The best milk tea I've ever drank", exclaimed a renowned coffee and tea enthusiast from my group. Definitely a great spot for coffee and tea. I got their Madagascar Vanilla Latte -- not too sweet, very balanced taste. My group generally agreed that they would rate the place as ~5 star. We spent about $30 for 4 drinks, which is a little pricey, but that's the average for all coffee shops nowadays. The inside is a little bit small and can get a little crowded, but still a great spot for studying, and there is a decent amount of outdoor seating. I was sadly unable to discover why the establishment is named "stereoscope" coffee, but who cares. It's a very catchy name. There is also a random piece of floral decoration in one of the corners. Random in my opinion, but stylish.

Matcha was pretty nice. Muted earthy flavor with no sweetness. Area was fairly nice. I liked the interior. It was interesting to see the layout.

Stereoscope Coffee Company. As I took a step inside, I was blasted by the rich aroma of coffee. The ambiance at Stereoscope is amazing! A great interior design along with chill music. Makes for a relaxing environment! The seating is ample, yet diverse. There are different types of chairs and tables, suitable for one's preference. The staff here is excellent. The cashier I encountered today was polite and also very well-spoken. He brought out coffee to the customers while putting on a smile. I was very delighted to be treated so kindly. I ordered the strawberry matcha, and WOW it was tasty. Light, sweet, and refreshing, the matcha had perfect chunks of strawberry that didn't feel jammy. All in all, Stereoscope Coffee Company offers a great experience that blends friendly service, yummy drinks, and an inviting environment! Hats off and thank you!

One of my favorite places to get work done. I love how they designed their space. The wait can get long though.

This has to be one of my favorite places I have visited recently. The staff brings the coffee directly to you, whether you are sitting down or standing. The honey latte was just the right sweetness without being straight sugar overload. It is a loud when I was there on a Saturday around noon, but it was busy so that is expected. A lot of places to sit so I was able to hang out and get work done.

I'm not a coffee drinker but I do appreciate the many tea options. However, I came in for the soft serve which was great. They had their seasonal flavor which was cranberry pumpkin spice latte. You could barely taste the cranberry but the spice flavor and espresso was pretty strong. Very lightly sweetened too. The coffee store is randomly located in what used to be a Rite Aid plaza and has an okay amount of parking. Indoor seating was packed with people studying on their laptops but there was a decent amount of outdoor seating. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for drinks and dessert, especially with the best pork tempura next door called Yoko.

One of the best matcha that I have had in oc. Maybe not the best best but it's so easy to drink.. sweetness is already in the powder so no adjustments can be made. But they do have other fancy options also. Vanilla latte was just ok. Housemade syrups but my drink was too light. Needed more espresso flavor and a bit more syrups . Overall excellent shop with very very good matcha

Went on a weekend to do some work and wow this place had a nonstop line for what felt like a couple of hours! I heard the coffee and matcha is really good but I opted for a strawberry milk which tasted as it sounds. It was literally milk with strawberries but I liked the level of sweetness and that they added lots of strawberry bits to give it a fuller texture and feeling. The place is going for a very industrial look and there is limited seating which can get a little squishy. Bathroom rating 3/5 Has the basic necessities, is clean, and carries over the industrial look/white tiling but nothing life changing or beautiful about it.
